Greenville, SC Artisphere

Artisphere has become internationally known for the quality of its art work. It is difficult to photograph the work but the atmosphere can be captured to some extent. Here is what I saw on the way to the festivities.

People-watching at the Fair

Along with the great fibers and fiber based products, the people in various postures of waiting, maybe for the shoppers or knitters was fun to see.

Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair

Alice always takes me to events with people and things to photograph including Walter Turpening, a great weaver/furniture-maker. The vendor on the phone was priceless, everyone is hooked up, maybe and the items that first caught my eye are things I want to share first, meaning there is more to come.

       

Retrospection

Today I decided to go back and see what I have been shooting and here are the px that I found that I really enjoy looking at.

Midland Part 2

We found the Midland Library a neat place to wander in as well as was the local antique store, both having an intriguing assortment of “stuff”.

View from Fort Machinac

Fort Mackinac is set on top the island in order to protect the bay and it provides great vistas both far and near. The first two images are of our group and the youn guy shooting the group is the official Road Scholar photographer. I particularly like the solitary bike against the whitewashed fort wall and the orange-yellow umbrellas with the color and patterns.  

More Chesnee Motorcycles

It is hard to leave the motorcycles with their surroundings and people. I always try to make images that retain some reference to location and what is happening in that location which helps me tell a story.

The Trip Is Almost Done

The first three images are from the Mennonite Center and the last three are from the campus of Eastern Mennonite University. They represent our last few days at the festival. I particularly like taking pictures of Alice sketching. The old schoolroom with the picture of George Washington reminds me of my grammar school classrooms.

Artisphere 2

There is so much to see at street events so there will probably be a #3, at least, of Artisphere.

A Walk Down the Street, New Orleans

I am probably not done with my New Orleans px because when I go through the images there are always a few new ones which attract me and if they attract me more than once, I want to share them. I love doorways with little kind of riddles, gates with shadows, folks watching the magician, who I had in an earlier blog, and finally, the cathedral which is a wonderful space.

More New Orleans

Sunrise, a wander around the New Orleans Museum grounds, Jackson Square and finally, dinner at the New Orleans Cooking School, another great day.

NYC People

NYC people are so interesting.

Starting the Visual Day

This AM I was listening to the news and it reminded me of a photo in my collection. I then found some things in my collection that ameliorated the downer of the news and I decided to share the three images.
